I haven't had a landline in a decade so I'm rusty on this, but unless that's 3 lines or something I don't think it's a phone line (2 wires), and it's not cat5 Ethernet either, since that's 8 wires. If there's a (working) phone line in that set of wires, there should be 48V DC between some pair (when all phones on the line are on the hook), 6V when one or more is off the hook, and 9V when ringing. You might get more help in this forum http://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=210 edit: maybe this thread or even this one. randyest fucked around with this message at 03:03 on May 16, 2012 |

If the landlord says there's a phone line, and there isn't, you should get him to pay for the installation.

What is everyone's favourite cable management solution for a computer desk area? I am pretty tempted to try something like this. Any reasons I shouldn't or better ideas?

What is the word for someone who takes advantage of a situation, not quite as advanced as an "opportunist"? For example, if my friends know I'm paying for dinner and then they are hitting up a little too much, and not being particularly grateful but not necessarily mooching since I offered. Not quite a freeloader because they don't impose but fully take advantage and are constantly on the look out for such.

Unless you tell everyone they can't supersize in advance. Go with the gusto or just buy a round of drinks instead. Seriously though, as stated above, it's probably "moocher."

Very Strange Things posted:The gears probably need some 2-in-one oil; don't use wd40 it will inhibit the flow of steam. It's definitely not that. Basically what happens is when I first try turning it on it'll die as soon as the screen starts to turn on. Eventually I'm able to get past that but it dies when it tries to beep. Once it makes it past the beep things start loading, but if I try to use the WIN command (since it boots into MS-DOS) too fast then it'll die again. This process takes even longer when I have the battery plugged in. Is the problem possibly the power supply? It seems like it's a power issue since each time I start it it gets closer and closer to turning on, and once it's on all the way it stays on no problem.

It sounds like there's some kind of loose or warped connections in the computer, and the only thing that gets them to keep proper contact is leaving it on for progressively longer times, presumably because the connections stay better when heated. You might consider opening up the device to see if there's anything that's obviously loose or cracked. Nintendo Kid fucked around with this message at 16:49 on May 16, 2012 |

What's the best indoor HDTV antenna in terms of value? I'm looking at ditching FIOS TV. We live in the northern/central NJ area, the house is drywall and regular vinyl siding. Not sure what other factors come into play. We've got two 1080p 46" TVs with plenty of inputs, so we can use HDMI or component. Not sure if regular coax will do HD resolution.

My boyfriend's physio lent him a TENS machine to use at home. Looking at the booklet I saw that it said it could not be sold in the US, and a bit of googling revealed that in America they are prescription-only. We're in Canada and could buy one off the internet if we wanted. What would happen if I ordered one, repacked it and mailed it to a friend in the US, and it got opened by Customs? Would it be confiscated? Would this get either of us set to Gitmo?

My Nexus S, AT&T model, just came back from Samsung support and they forgot to ship my battery with the phone. They are shipping me a new battery, but in the mean time can I go to say a sprint store and buy a battery for their model of the Nexus S to use in the interim? I would imagine so but I don't like to take chances with how sensitive some electronics and phones are these days. I want to go to a different carrier store because, a) AT&T does not stock the Nexus S in their stores and, b) even if they did the AT&T stores are farther from me then others.

I don't really know what to make of this information, because looking up "resolve host" dunks me in a sea of questions that don't seem to be the same as mine, and I am too ignorant to tell if that is the case. I usually use Network Solutions WhoIs Lookup but that particular site has WHOIS guard that keeps you from seeing their info. But from looking at both your site and the one I linked the "Resolve host" is just the IP address that the domain name resolved to.

I am reasonably sure that it would fit, you might just ask at the store if you can try it so that you don't get all the way home and discover it does not.

I've never heard anyone mention needing a prescription -- you just buy one from any of the thousand online shops that stock them. Googling around, apparently some models are classed as medical devices, but plenty of others are over-the-counter and as legal as aspirin. I don't know what the difference is between the two types, though -- this is the first I've ever heard of the prescription thing.

I want to create a simple online poll for people to vote on what games they want at a get-together. There are tons of sites that let you do this, but they all seem to only let you set the poll to allow either one or 'multiple' (infinite) selections. I want a poll where people can choose exactly two options. Is there any site that does this?

Does anyone know of an Android App that will basically just let me mark TV episodes i have watched and rate them to keep track? I have found some similar things which will tell me when the next episode is on TV or some poo poo, but thats not what i want. For instance i can go into the app and then find "The Simpsons" > Season 23 > Episode 1 > and then mark it 2 out of 5 or something so i can keep track of what episodes i have watched and liked/hated? Or even just a website that does something similar?
